I personally think we should stick with vanilla upstream as much as possible. There are currently two cases where sliming down the tarball is probably useful: * the latest gcc * gap - which is not in Jeroen’s list because it is already completely stripped down. You should check upstream size if you think gcc is bad.
I would rather keep the sliming down as an exception rather than a rule.
